Hey Fellas,
ok looking for some advice and feedback from all the great peeps on here.
I work for Go Outdoors (large superstore size camping and outdoor pursuits store) for those that have never heard of us .
This year the company have decided to raise money for Mountain rescue(england and wales),
Mountain Rescue England and Wales were called to over 1500 incidents in 2009, helping walkers, mountain bikers, runners, climbers and a host of other people who needed assistance, as well as motorists trapped in winter snow.
Mountain rescue in the UK is free of charge to the casualty but relies on the support and generosity of the public to maintain this valuable community service. Without public donations, they simply could not function.
Each store has been given a target of £16,000 and has been asked to come up with ideas to raise the cash.
I was thinking of combining my love for old VW'S with some kind of charitable event, the store is based in Southampton and i was thinking something along the lines of turn up in your van or other old vw pay a small donation to the cause (i am going to see if i can get a discount in the store for peeps attending the meet).
maybe a BBQ with all the profits being donated of course, CRUISE IN A BUS, where maybe people pay to have a cruise round southampton, Raffle with camping prizes which i will hopefully scrounge of the suppliers and reps and of course a chance to get together with other like minded vw nuts and generally have a good time.
so this is still in the very early stages, so i suppose what i would like to know is:
Is this the sort of thing you would attend?
Is this the sort of thing you would support (cruise around southampton) ?
any other ideas for the day? , bearing in mind its gotta be for charity.
would welcome all feedback positive or negative as i would love this to work and maybe be repeated.
cheers guys
Glen.
